    CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL Established 1964 Publication of the Assyrian Foundation of America Volume 43, Number 3, 2019 Assyrian foundation of America In February, I had the enormous pleasure and privilege of attending a unique exhibit at the British Museum entitled, “I am Ashurbanipal, King of the World, King of Assyria”. It was an ex- traordinary experience to see archaeological artifacts attributed to the palace of arguably one of the most important kings in an- cient history, Ashurbanipal. Besides being a remarkable scholar and military strategist, he established the first and most impres- sive library of the ancient world. Within his incredible collec- tion of clay tablets lay one of the greatest epic tales ever told, the Gilgamesh. It is all the more appropriate that on the final day of the exhibit was a contemporary Assyrian folk music concert or- ganized by renowned Assyrian musician Honiball Joseph, founder of the Gilgamesh Art & Culture Foundation. The Assyrian Foundation of America (AFA) is a proud continuing sponsor of Honiball and his organization. Honiball Joseph is an accomplished musician, composer, conductor, pianist, and music educator with over thirty years of extensive international experience. In addition to numer- ous recitals, he has organized, conducted, arranged and composed several orchestral and vocal concerts throughout California as well as at the most prestigious concert halls in his native Iran. With the patronage of the AFA, Honiball has organized a unique repeat performance of the British museum concert here in San Francisco at the Marines’ Memorial Theater on Saturday, September 14, 2019. This is a great family event and I urge everyone, particularly those who were unable to join the festivities in London, to attend this concert that promises to be a spectacular and memo- rable experience.

  • Religiosity and the Development of Ego- Identity – a Sequential Mixed-Methods Study of the Enculturation and Acculturation Process of Assyrians/Syrians in Sweden
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY Department of Theology History of Religions and Social Scientific Study of Religion E, 30 c. Psychology of Religion. Spring, 2014. Supervisor: Önver Cetrez. Examiner: Valerie DeMarinis. Religiosity and the Development of Ego- Identity – A sequential mixed-methods study of the enculturation and acculturation process of Assyrians/Syrians in Sweden. Victor Dudas [email protected] 1 Abstract The purpose of the current sequential mixed-methods study is to bring further knowledge to the field of psychology of religion concerning the role of religion for Assyrians/Syrians in Sweden. Guiding the current study are theories concerning enculturation, acculturation, ego-identity, ritualization and communitas. The central research question is: What role does religiosity have for Assyrians/Syrians in Sweden, concerning the development of ego-identity and the practice of ritualization, within a process of enculturation and acculturation? The quantitative phase of the sequential mixed-methods study uses a sample of 244 participants that were part of a previously conducted study. Descriptive statistics, comparing means, correlations, t-tests, and ANOVA are applied to analyze the data retrieved from the questionnaires. The qualitative phase uses a sample of 12 informants collected by a purposive and snowball sampling technique. The methods of data collection are semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews. The data collected are analyzed by qualitative content analysis. The results of the quantitative phase show that there is no statistically significant relationship between religiosity and self-perception of ethnicity or self- perception of being a part of the Swedish society. The results, however, show several significant correlations and differences between males and females as well as between generations.

  • We Assyrians Believe Standing Against Anti-Semitism in America Is an Obligation and a Duty
    We Assyrians believe standing against Anti-Semitism in America is an obligation and a duty The attacks against innocent members of the Jewish-American community at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the shooting at the kosher supermarket in Jersey City, the desecration of the Torah and vandalism of the Nessah Synagogue in Beverly Hills and numerous other attacks which are unreported have raised major concern among the Assyrian-Americans. We, the Assyrians know the footprint of harassment and persecution for we too have suffered for our faith and continue to face ethnocide. Our generational and collective experience with similar heinous crimes and our long kinship with the Jews has moved us to feel the pain of this ancient community not just in America, but throughout the world. We strongly condemn these heinous crimes and see these attacks not only against our Jewish-American brethren but against all of us. There is no place for bigotry and hate of any kind in this country we call home. Hereby, during this Season of Advent and as the Hanukkah is being celebrated, we the Assyrian organizations and leaders in the United States of America call on our federal, state and local authorities to investigate these hate crimes and to swiftly prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. We also call for the educational institutions to invest more resources in educating the young on fighting bigotry and discrimination of any kind and combating anti- Semitism. One of the bedrock principles upon which America was founded is the cause of religious freedom.
